   I personnally don't own a Mac, only use them occasionally to draw pretty
   pictures for my documents.  Some people don't have a choice about what
   hardware they use; have you ever heard of low bid.  
                                             =======!!!

This would definitely exclude Apple products (1/2 :-)
						       
						       For many, if not all
   government procurements, the bids are taken, starting with the low bid.

Or maybe I've got the meaning of "low bid" wrong...when you say "low bid", do
you mean the company with the lowest amount of innovation over the last 7
years (Apple & MS are close on this one)?  Or does "low" here mean "low" in the
sense of "lowlife scum" (Apple wins hands down here).
